What exhaust/mufflers will fit and work with the ASP 120 2 stroke? I recently purchased a plane that has a brand new ASP 120 2 stroke, but no exhaust. Will an OS exhaust fit? I know I can get a pitts that will, just wondering what others will cross fit.
Thanks

Nate, Have you tried elevator/rudder mixing? 3D guys at the field do it all the time. I have no clue how to do it, but they say it does wonders for all 3D manuevers.

It could be a wing incidence problem but I really doubt it. When full throttle the plane is going pretty fast... at least 60 mph and the rudder is huge. Also with the big fuse there isn't a need for a ton of rudder to hold her steady in KE. It could be pulling to the gear some during that and I might not have noticed since at this point I have only done it up high and pretty far out.

As for moving the cg back... not sure how to go about doing it... I guess I could move the throttle servo but I really don't want to. The ignition can't really go anywhere and my batteries are as far back as I can get them. They just don't weigh very much. Anyway... I'm sure Ill figure something out eventually.

Inverted test typically will give you a feel for the CG, not to mention after a trim flight is the elevator centered on the stab or not. Tail heavy will couple to the canopy.. Once the CG is set, the plane becomes neutral, take it up 60 mistakes high, chop the power in a dive and see if it tracks to the ground or tucks to gear or canopy, that will tell wing incidence.

We just did all of this a few weeks back with a 50cc Reactor, the better it got <was nose heavy> the bigger his smile got. It really is worth the time setting up an airframe.

The fibberty-giggit needs to by-pass the hyper thing-a-ma-bob resulting in laminar-transitional turbulentossity.....when this happens we can plainly see the resulting instabilularity decreasing to manageable levels of perpetuity. Comprende?

Now guys believe it or not but buy raising and lowering the ailerons 1/2 degree or so will also help control AOA in a knife edge.
I like the 45 degree inverted upline to check my CG.
Here lately while working on my KE flight I've been holding pressure on my elev stick and using it to steer my plane in a KE.
I've been making turns with it right now, but I hope to be able to do pattern KE flights.
My little buck huck has terrible coupling but practing 1/2 patterns in a Knife edge is helping me keep more on top of that elevator.

O BTW somtimes it's not so much the wing incident as more the H stab.
The problem with so many ARF's is there is no reference given to where the datum line is.
So on an ARF it's best to zero the H stab to the wings on a 3D plane.

Perfect explanation

99 balls of dough on the shelf,, 99 ball of doughhhhhh,,,,
take one down roll it around,,,, 98 balls of dough on the shelf

Waldo, thank you for seeing my point! Now we have to do something about you being the consummate "Yes Man" and get you out of the kitchen......there's good flying weather out there man! Let the relatives eat cake/pie/doughnuts....how can we exist without your flight reports????

What does comprende mean? Every thing else makes sence. Fiberty is spelled with one b I think but might be wrong about that.

I took the slick out again this morning... at the end of my first flight I did a full throttle pass with a slow roll. Half-way through the roll the canopy came off and just exploded. I mean it was a mangled mess of plastic and balsa pieces. I brought the plane in without any other problems but 3dhs does not have any more blue canopies and they don't plan to make any more. I can get a red one... I guess that won't be too bad... I'll just have to go ahead and integrate it into the scheme with some custom vinyl.

I hope you all get to fly something over the Thanksgiving weekend. It look like I'll be lucky to get any flying in at all. Two perfect flying days in a row here and I probly won't get a chance to take advantage of either. At least I get to spend them with my family, but I'd rather spend them with my family at the flying field.
